Confederate Flag and Heritage Day Honored in AR

Keeping part of Arkansas' history alive, folks gathered in honor of Confederate Flag and Heritage Day.

Mark Kalkbrenner, 2nd Lt. Commander, said "The Confederate battle flag was a flag, an American flag the men were fighting for, what they believed in and it was the symbol they rallied around and we continue to use that."
